Open this serviceLos Angeles County notes from the roof
Coastal towns sit under marine layer, valley summers pass 100 degrees, and the mountains get snow. Thousands of structures burned in January 2025 with Eaton and Palisades, including much of Altadena, so embers are no small thing here.
The Houses
On Los Angeles County roofs we meet postwar tracts in the San Fernando Valley, South Bay and Gateway Cities, plus older brick stock. Each chimney gets its cap, crown and flue looked at on the first visit.
